Bamboo Sur introduces a new, thick-walled, hybrid bamboo clone for biomass plantations. This fast growing bamboo tree can be cultivated on non-arable land to produce sustainable, cost effective biomass energy crop.
Scientists have conducted several biotechnology research and plant breeding in bamboo. This led to the development of a hybrid bamboo that will be the solution for energy, paper pulp and bamboo charcoal production. The hybrid bamboo plant is not a genetically modified organism. It is a product of conventional breeding. Hybrid bamboo can grow in all types of soil. The preferred soil is light soil, loamy soil, red soil and sandy loam soil.
Just after a three year gestation period, a one acre yield will be an amazing 40 m tons, with 8-10 percent moisture and less than 1 percent ash content. A well-grown hybrid bamboo plantation is able to sequester close to 60 tons of carbon-dioxide in every acre annually which is 80 CER of carbon trading. Lacking thorns, it’s easy to cultivate and harvest.
Bamboo Sur specializes in alternative fuel methods. They are experts in developing and managing bamboo plantations, consulting on mass propagation of bamboos and advising state governments and farmers for development of bamboo on a mega scale.
